Keeping Informed in an Emergency

In an emergency, we will use telephone, email, and the seas.upenn.edu web site to keep you informed. We have three methods in case one is not available.

As part of its planning for emergency preparedness, the University of Pennsylvania is working to update its campus-wide contact lists. If you have not done so already, please add your cell and home phone numbers to your listing in the Penn Directory.

Please note, you can and should make the number PRIVATE, so that it can only be accessed and used in an emergency by the University.

Directions on how to do this are below:

1. To begin, go to the Penn Directory.
2. In the upper right corner, click My Profile.
3. If the Penn Weblogin screen appears, log in with your PennKey and password.
4. If a Usage Statement appears, click I Agree.
5. Under My Penn Details click the Edit button next to your phone number.
6. In the first open row of your Penn Profile, add your cell phone number. Under Type choose Cell from the drop-down menu.
7. To make your number private, uncheck the box under Display in My Penn Details?
8. Click Submit to save your changes.

Please keep your contact information in the Penn Directory up to date, so that we can keep you informed in an emergency. If you have questions or concerns, send email to cets@seas.upenn.edu.
